Narrative

From PVP Application: Full Moon was found in a 10 acre field of Big Max (orange) in 1998. Full Moon is an albino mutation. It looks like Big Max plant and fruit in all respects except color. Breeding method was self pollenation. We grew 480 seeds from S3 generation. The 480 plants were 100% white. A subsequent generation, S4, was also 100% white. Two following open pollenated generations were 100% white. Stability tested by observing 100% white color of fruits over 4 successive generations. Less than 5% of fruits have small warts on the fruit exterior. They are a slightly raised bump, 1/2-1" diameter, 1/8-5/16" high. The warts are same color white as exterior of Full Moon.
